This week on THE LEFT ... er ... WEST WING

MARTIN SHEEN SEES BLACK HELICOPTERS IN THE RECALL ELECTION
Accuses AHNOLD of taking orders from the Bush White House



Seeing his ratings plummet and Arnold's poll numbers rise, West Wing Chief Executive Martin Sheen is crying conspiracy!

According to the New York Post: Sheen told "Access Hollywood" Schwarzenegger got his marching orders from the Bush administration. "The California recall is an effort to grab the state for the Republicans," Sheen said. "I suspect this came out of the White House. Frankly, it makes perfect sense after Florida."

Hey Martin, why don't you pitch that idea to your bosses ... it might help your ratings!

FROM JONNY QUEST TO MR. BRADY
Gary Cole joins the cast.



Kim Possible has reason to be proud. That's because her dad (or the guy who does his voice) is being appointed Vice President on the West Wing.

COMING ATTRACTIONS is reporting that Gary Cole is set to join the cast as a vice president with "unconventional ideas." His character will be the replacement for Vice President Hoynes (played by Tim Matteson), who resigned amid scandal last season.

Cole also has as his pedigree other notable dad roles as Mr. Brady in the Brady Bunch Movie, and Bill Davis in the down right awful WB remake"Family Affair". He also played Astronaut Edgar Mitchell in Tom Hank's mega mini series FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON and Captain Matthew Gideon in the short lived, but uber-cool, Babylon 5 spin off CRUSADE. His first break, was the lead role in the NBC series "Midnight Caller".

LIVE FROM NEW YORK ...
...it's Aaron Sorkin?

The New York Daily News reports that Sorkin has a new idea. He wants to do behind the scenes of a late night sketch comedy show.

"He wants to do the politics, the fighting to get stuff on the air, the masterful show runner and the young crazy comics," said a Sorkin friend familiar with the project. "He's fascinated by it."

Chances are, this will be more like his "Sophie's Choice" SPORTSNIGHT than WEST WING.

And that's a good thing.
